Your battle suit clanks as weapons-fire ricochets off the tough armor. You're running through the trenches, the suit splashed with mud mixed with blood, burning streaks of gunfire erupting all around you. Your Autocannon blazes as you spray flak into the sky, ripping into the chassis of passing Araphan destroyers. Without warning, you pitch forward, landing over a trench. The impact tears the battle suit in half, snapping your spine as the hydraulic legs jackknife over your head. You see your legs lying ten metres away from you. You reach for your sidearm, but it's too late. An Araphan marine puts his electroblade between the shoulder blades on your armor. You look down at the shimmering blood now covering your visor. Then, everything around you blurs with motion. Everything glows yellow, and you feel yourself being pulled downward, leaving your torn body behind. Then, blackness.
When you come to, you can see a shadowy figure in front of you. He speaks.
"I am the Tetrarch. You have fallen in battle. Choose your fate."
(set up your sheet, and I will arrange your stats and stuff according to your choices.)

Araphan Special Attribute: Regen Terran Special Attribute: Adrenaline
Notes: The Araphans are more resilient, and have more powerful support, while Terrans have a more powerful arsenal. The Terran race is best for straight-up power junkies. The Araphans are better for players that like to develop and evolve their character.
You don't find any, but that's just as well. If it can sustain mega-size laser fire, a rocket wouldn't do ****.
There are several dead bodies around you, and the surrounding area seems to be blasted in multiple locations. Above, one of the cruisers is taking heavy damage, and starts to slowly sink in the sky, closer to the ground, explosions racking its hull.
Apologies all. I had some technical issues I had to work out yesterday. By the time I fixed them, it was late, so I decided to do some scientific research. ------------ Name: Blaidd Rank: Marine Weight: 254pds Height: 7ft Build: Muscular ------ Aptitude: 1 Power: 4 Regen: 1 Endurance: 3 Agility: 1 ------- Primary: StormGun[Sniper] Secondary: Electroblade Inventory: Thermoaccelerator [x1], starbands[x5], Firebrand [x1].

Of course.
You find yourself lying on an open bulkhead door. Below you, there is a long, dark pit, which seems to have been a hallway of some sort. Above you, the situation is similar. To your left, there is nothing but the wall on the other side of this tunnel. To your right there is what seems to be a supply depot entrance. Your helmet reads as follows: Unknown Energy source [-0m], Unknown lifesign [24m]

"It must be The Rommel. The heavy fire coming from that quadrant of the battlefield are probably disrupting the surge fields."
He adjusts your frequency input, and the static clears up, mostly.
You are back in the trench.

After a few minutes, you start to hear small arms firing under the din of the heavy weapons. A bloodied enemy grunt stumbles into view, sees you, and aims at you.
To your left there is a blast crater, about three feet deep at the center. Behind you there is the wreckage of a shuttle. To your right there is the corpse of an enemy officer, half in, half out of a muddy puddle of a greenish liquid. In front of you, there is the grunt, and a trench remnant beyond him.
i stare that ****er down, moving my trench-gun in place, if his finger on that trigger twitches, i drop down and fire at him, otherwise i just star at him with pure hate in my eyes
I search around for the unknown energy source. If I find it I examine it and check if I can use it. If I don't I head towards the supply depot entrance.
You can distinguish a wing, but you'll need to get closer to examine it more thoroughly. ------------------- Name: Ac Eithrio Rank: Marine Weight: 165 Height: 6'2" Build: Lightweight ------ Aptitude: 3 Power: 1 Regen: 0 Endurance: 1 Agility: 5 ------- Primary:StarBurst Trenchgun[shotgun] Secondary: Electroblade Inventory: Thermoaccelerator [x1], starbands[x5], Firebrand [x1].

He starts shooting at you as soon as you move. ---------------------------------------------- Name: Blaidd Rank: Marine Weight: 254pds Height: 7ft Build: Muscular ------ Aptitude: 1 Power: 4 Regen: 1 Endurance: 3 Agility: 1 ------- Primary: StormGun[Sniper] Secondary: Electroblade Inventory: Thermoaccelerator [x1], starbands[x5], Firebrand [x1].

Your helmet has a constant reading of [-0] on the energy source. The supply depot is on its side, so there's about a ten foot drop to the wall below.
